Chinese Automaker Launches Remote-Control Family Car

Posted by timothy on from the drug-resistant-featuritus dept.

cylonlover writes "When we think of remote control cars, we generally think of scaled-down vehicles that can easily get caught up underfoot. Not so Chinese automaker BYD, which has upsized the remote control car with the release of its Su Rui model in China. The mid-size family saloon that seats five includes Remote Driving Control technology that allows the driver to get out of the car and drive it using the included remote control 'key.'"

    Saloon also means sedan (car) in Britain and Australia.

    Just Britain. No one says "saloon" in Australia; Australians say "sedan".
